A Lady To Praise

Chocolate pools for elegant eyes
Language a tool devoid of lies
Satin skin no flaws like a dream
Warming voice speaks as if to sing

A ballerina could move like that
Much reflected in your laugh
Humble and kind so delightful 
Past your prime but who would know 

Hair like a halo defying gravity air
Flair I say so in the clothes you wear
You say so much with action no word
When you do speak always heard 

You’re beautiful just as you are
I imagine you as a community star
One who looks up never seems far
But close to those who love her heart

She is indeed a sweet ballerina in a different way worthy of praise. Though not young, age is not etched on her face. After all beauty lies in the interior and not in external appearance. Humility and kindness add to one's charm. A sweet poem, Karen.
